FAITH #101 - Align your words with His words...

Did you realise the words you choose to use shape your faith and automatically align you with God's word or the world?

Mark 11:22-24

 

"Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."


God is not void of faith.

His Word is not void of faith.

His Church is not void of faith, for we have the faith of God.

God is not void of power.

His Word is not void of power.

His Church is not void of power, for He delegated to us His power and authority.


So why don't we see more miracles? Where's the problem?

His people are so often void of speaking what He says!


Every nation and Kingdom has its own language. When I visit a nation that speaks no English, I cannot function properly in communication, in the purchase of items, or the giving of instructions to anyone. Many times in foreign countries I have tried to ask for something to be brought to my hotel room, but it does not appear. Why? Is it because the hotel staff do not like me? Or is it because they don't want me to have the item? Of course not. It is simply a language issue. They do not understand my language. It is because my English language does not operate in that nation.

Many people pray and ask Father to answer their prayer. Then when nothing seems to change they believe He didn't hear them, or that He doesn't want to give them a miracle because they have not prayed enough, or have not been good enough. But this is not how it works. He does not answer prayers because anyone is 'good.' He can and will only answer prayers based on His Word (His Promise). If your need is covered in His Covenant Word, then the answer is always "Yes & Amen" to your request. If what you ask for is contrary to His Word, then it will not be answered with a "Yes & Amen."


His Word Is His Will. If you are unsure what His Will is about something, then go and discover it by reading His Word, or ask someone who knows the Word of God, if they know what it states in His Word. If it is covered in His Word, then you know it is His will and can pray with confidence that when you pray He will hear it and the answer will always be "Yes & Amen." Now you need to simply believe He said "Yes." Once you know you received the "Yes" to your request you go your way believing it will manifest and start confessing His promise. You do not need to pray repeatedly requesting the same thing. This only reveals you did not believe He heard you the first time and said "Yes." So, settle it. Stay in prayer until you know deep within you that He heard your prayer and said "Yes" to your request.


To live and function fully in that nation I must speak their language. When I do, then everything functions properly and easily.


The Kingdom of God operates in this same way. It does not understand and cooperate with the language of unbelief, doubt, fear, guilt or logic. The language of the Kingdom of God/Heaven operates using the language of faith. It is not a Kingdom that uses the language of emotions, or begging, pleading or long theological wordings. It does not operate and respond because someone is a man, or a leader, or the Pope, or a king - it works because you speak its language of faith in God's Word.


When you pray using the language of faith, believing what your prayed was heard and the answer was "Yes and Amen," and you go from the place of prayer knowing you already have what you prayed for, then the Kingdom of God recognises it as faith and what you prayed for manifests into the Earth.


Suddenly you discover that there is a 6th sense called 'faith.'

We grow up in life being taught how to use our five senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste. When you become a born again Christian you have to learn to use a sixth sense - faith. Faith senses something is done, or is happening, before you can use your other five senses to experience it. You can 'know' something before you see, feel or hear anything, because it happened within your heart in the realms of faith.


In my earlier blog regarding Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, He 'knew' Lazarus would be raised before He saw him or heard him coming out of the tomb. He 'knew' within Himself, in the realms of faith. This is how we must also learn to live. We must learn to 'know' the Word of God is His will and that He is bound to keep His Word, because it is His blood Covenant Word and we must learn to 'believe' that if He said it, then He meant it and wants it to manifest in your life.


Then you must talk as if it is done, even though you cannot see anything has changed. This is because faith is expressed by believing and saying it is done, before seeing it is done with your natural eyesight..


It is easy to see the world and say what the world is saying about everything and anything. That takes no faith whatsoever. Much of the world you live in does not recognise the language of faith in God's Word. It operates in the realms of what they see, feel, touch, hear or smell. They live by their 5 senses. This is not a criticism because that is how everybody learns to live until they accept Jesus into their lives. Suddenly you discover that there is a 6th sense called 'faith.' Just as I grew up in life learning how to live by my 5 senses, I have also grown up in Christ and matured in learning to live by faith, by reading the Word of God and listening to people of faith preaching the Word.
